In this section, Raghavendran discusses how to configure payment based on an employee’s fuel consumption.

My first example scenario is to configure and use the payment wage type with a constant value that is stored in the back-end table and calculates in the front-end screen. The system takes the user’s variable input in infotypes 0014 o
r 0015 as its calculation base and performs the calculation step with the constant values, which are in the back-end table. Following are some examples of how to achieve this.

Scenario 1: There is a payment type in your organization that is based on fuel consumption units. For example, if an employee has travelled 100 kilometers in a given payroll month, he is paid 2.00 Euro per kilometer based on the market price of petrol.

In this example he is paid 200.00 Euro (100 x 2.00 Euro = 200.00 Euro) for this month. Next month, if the consumption is 250.00 Euro, then he is paid 250.00 x 2.00 Euro = 500.00 Euro. The payroll administrator enters only the unit and consumption values and the system calculates the total payment amount.

Let’s first frame the requirements before configuring the system. The following are the requirements of the organization:

A wage type for fuel consumption with a default unit of kilometers

The fuel rate is 2.00 Euro per kilometer

The system has to calculate the dollar amount multiplied by the number of kilometers, per payroll period

Now, let’s create a new wage type called “fuel allowance” for this purpose. In this example, I am assuming that the payroll administrator enters this wage type for an employee in infotype 0014 (recurring payments and deductions).
